1. Everyone knows that there are four skills in learning a language, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing. They are always related in-terms of usage, and speaking is viewed by learners as the most desirable skill in face-to-face communication in the globalization era. What do you have to do before you can speak? What does a child learn before he talks? Listen, of course!

2. Naturally, children begin listening to their parents when they are babies. They are often greeted, spoken to and admired without any response expected. Though nobody knows if the baby understands the spoken words, the process continues. Children automatically acquire such language over some time. That leads to speaking skill which is quite applicable to daily conversation.

3. In learning English, listening can help to improve speaking considerably. Although it is the first of all skills, it is neither the easiest nor the most meaningless. We need to hear various types of English repeatedly and continuously if we want to communicate properly, meaningfully and naturally.

4. When listening, we are reviewing a lot of English usage such as vocabulary, grammatical structures, intonation, accent etc. We can learn new words and expressions by hearing them frequently. We can imitate what we hear and apply it with great confidence. Listening can be a good «hobby» while we do other things such as cooking, ironing, exercising, relaxing etc. In other words, we have no wasted time at all.

5. Nowadays, radio cassette recorders are household appliances, but we often overlook their radio function. We can experience English language radio

programmes almost anywhere in the world. They are usually picked up on FM bands and aired particularly for foreigners. Short wave radio programmes are another option. Two of the most easily found English language broadcasters are the BBC and Voice of America. Today, you can even access them by Internet.

I am not a writer by trade. I am a white hunter. My name is Allan Quatermain and I live in Durban, South Africa. I am fifty-five years of age and for more than thirty years I have been trading, hunting, fighting or mining in one part of Africa or another. I have, in my time, shot sixty-five lions. The sixty-sixth got me and mauled me pretty badly before he was driven off. That is why I limp a bit on my left leg.

Well, it's eighteen months or so since I first met Sir Henry Curtis and Captain Good, which is the real beginning of my story. That was in 1885. I'd been elephant hunting beyond Bamangwato and had had bad luck. Everything went wrong on that trip, and to top up with I got the fever badly.

As soon as I was well enough I sold such ivory as I had and took myself down to the Cape. After a week in Cape Town, I made up my mind to go back to Durban by the Dunkeld, then lying in the docks waiting for the Edinburgh Castle to get in from England. I took my berth and went aboard, and that afternoon the passengers from England came on and we put to sea.

Among the passengers who came on board there were two who caught my interest. One, a man of about thirty, was one of the biggest and strongest-looking men I'd ever seen. He had yellow hair and beard, clear-cut features and large grey eyes set deep in his head. I found out, by looking at the passenger list, that this was Sir Henry Curtis. He reminded me very much of somebody else, but at the time I could not remember who it was.

The man with him was listed as Captain John Good, and I put him down at once as a naval officer. He was stout and dark, and very neat and very clean-shaved, and he always wore an eyeglass in his right eye.
